It will not interfere. Maildrop is just another mail delivery agent. You have to
specifically tell qmail to use it. I use maildrop for all of my standard users. In
".qmail" you can put a line like,
|/usr/bin/maildrop /home/users/johndoe/.mailfilter
or with qmail-ldap, place the following in "deliveryprogrampath"
/usr/bin/maildrop /home/users/johndoe/.mailfilter
or you can globally use maildrop...
Then, you can use maildrop's structured filter language to do server side filtering for
the user or just deliver the message to the Maildir without filtering. It has many
nice features that you might be interested in.
